Chapter 710 Human Face

"Darkvision", "Devil's Eye", "Mist Sight", "Tremor Perception"...

Joan's right eye flashed magical aura one after another.

So far, nothing has been found.

However, when he turned on "See Through Invisibility", what he saw suddenly changed drastically, which made him gasp!

Not far directly opposite Joan, separated from him by a force field shield, a huge and hideous figure emerged out of thin air.

The monster outside the "shelter hut" looks like a large mutant spider at first glance.

The round body is eight feet in diameter, and eight slender spider legs stretch out around the outside of the abdomen.

However, after a little observation, Joan discovered the characteristics of this monster that were different from the usual mutant spiders.

Although its body is also black, there are traces of blood-red textures on its surface, which looks extremely terrifying.

What's even more frightening is that this giant spider actually had a human-like head!

That pale and swollen face looked like a young woman with a gloomy look, with disheveled black hair and scarlet eyes flickering, sometimes grinning and licking her lips, showing a mouth full of sharp teeth, the venom flowed smoothly Drooling down the corner of the lips, salivating like silk.

Qiao An stared at the hideous and weird human-faced spider outside the house, and was stunned for a moment before recovering.

At first, he thought that the human-faced spider was in an invisible state, but after careful observation, he discovered that the other party was actually located in the "spiritual world", that is, the "ether plane" parallel to the material world.

Creatures located at the border between the spirit world and the material world are called "spiritual bodies", which is the state in which most ghosts and ghosts are before manifesting.

Astral beings can see the physical world from the spiritual world.

On the contrary, people in the material world are usually unable to see spirit creatures, unless like Joan, blessed with detection spells that can see through invisibility.

Due to the separation of a layer of barriers, spirit creatures cannot directly harm targets in the material world. They must first be transported back to the material world to reveal their true form before attacking.

Joan was well aware of the characteristics of spirit creatures, so he regained his composure after the initial panic.

Thinking back to the impact just now, it was probably the movement made by the human-faced spider outside the house colliding with the force field shield.

A spirit creature, like an illusory ghost, can penetrate all physical barriers, enter a completely enclosed space, and even sneak into the body of a creature, and then suddenly appear, bursting the possessed creature alive!

However, there is only one obstacle that spirit creatures cannot overcome, and that is the magic barrier with the attribute of "force field".

The force field enchantment exists in both the material world and the spiritual world. No matter which plane you try to cross, you will always feel like hitting a wall.

The "refuge hut" built by Joan just has a force field shield, which can prevent the invasion of spirit creatures.

The human-faced spider outside the house still couldn't believe that its tried-and-true spirit form couldn't pass through the thin glowing wall in front of it.

She moved her slender spider legs, stepped back two steps, opened up space to speed up her run, jumped up suddenly, and flew towards the "shelter hut".

Seeing this, Qiao An secretly sneered.

"Ask for trouble!"

Sure enough, the human-faced spider bumped into the force field shield, bounced back, and fell belly up.

The monster shook its claws vigorously, turned over and got up with difficulty, a large lump swelled on its forehead, and its face was extremely ugly.

After two failed attempts, she had to admit that she couldn't pass through the magic barrier with her spirit body state, so she paced back and forth outside the "shelter hut", as if thinking hard about a way to break through the barrier.

Joan was also observing the human-faced spider.

The strange appearance of this monster, coupled with her spiritual body characteristics, prompted Joan to associate and guess that this guy is the "Phase Spider" recorded in the "Arachnid Creatures" subvolume of "Vares Monster Guide".

The phase spider is said to be a magical beast originally born in the spirit world. It is born with the supernatural ability to "transform the spirit body", and can travel between the spirit world and the material world at will.

This advantage of phase spiders is especially evident in the hunting process.

When phase spiders stare at a prey in the material world, they often follow it stealthily in the form of a spirit body, until the opponent relaxes their vigilance, then teleport from the spirit world to the material world, appear behind the prey unexpectedly, attack the opponent with sharp jaws, and incidentally Inject venom.

If the sneak attack is successful, the phase spider will wait for the prey to be poisoned and die in the spirit world, and then teleport back to enjoy a delicious meal.

In case the sneak attack fails, the phase spider is not in a hurry, and continues to track the prey in the form of a spirit, patiently waiting for the opponent to show its flaws, and launch another surprise attack.

No matter whether the sneak attack is successful or not, the phase spider will always escape back to the spirit world as soon as possible after the attack, and is well versed in the assassin's principles of "run away with one blow" and "never love to fight".

Recalling the description of the phase spider in the book, Joan was 70% sure of his guess compared to the human-faced spider wandering outside the house.

After hitting a wall twice, this phase spider became very cautious and stayed in the spirit world.

Most of the weapons and magic in the world cannot harm the spirit body, except for the attack of the force field attribute, which can extend from the material world to the spirit world and directly kill the spirit body creatures. This is like the force field shield can extend to the spirit world, bumping into the phase spider.

Qiao An has learned several force field attack spells, such as "Magic Missile", "Force Field Impact" and "Mage Nether Palm", all of which can hit phase spiders in a spirit state - and the opponent cannot fight back !

The problem now is that Joan is inside the "refuge hut", and there is a force field shield between him and the phase spider.

If Joan casts a spell in the house, the spell will be blocked by the force field shield.

Of course, he can also choose to step out of the hut and cast spells in the open air.

It is true that this can kill the phase spider, but it will also expose itself to the opponent's sharp claws and fangs, and it needs to bear some risks.

In addition, once Joan walked out of the house, this "shelter hut" would immediately disintegrate.

If Hailar and the Zion brothers and sisters withdraw at this time, there will be no stronghold to hide from the large swarm of spiders.

Considering various risks comprehensively, Joan gave up the idea of ​​going out of the hut and decided to use another way to get rid of the obstacle in front of him.

Just when Joan was lost in thought, the phase spider outside the house suddenly stopped, his eyes flashed with excitement, as if he had come up with a good idea to break through the "shelter hut".

The monster swayed its plump and round body, and with a circle of hazy light and shadow, it escaped from the etheric plane and was transported to the material world. It turned its head and let out a sharp roar towards the valley. It sounded like an extremely sad woman who was tearing her heart apart. cry.
